Thinking out loud from 'The Yarn Kitchen' at Skeinz.com where yarn is created, not made.

Cancellation Clearance!

Yarn diets are meant to be broken!

It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is very exciting for us at Skeinz - our mill has had a cancelled export order or premium NZ fine Merino DK. Made for AK Traditions, this luscious Merino is a must have for any stash - especially when we are clearing the 6 colours we have in store for just $5.95 a ball!!
The yarn is machine washable & spun to the same count as our Vintage DK. This means that is smooth, squishy with excellent stitch definition & due to the extra bounce in the Merino you will have no problem substituting it for patterns with a gauge range from 18 - 22 sts (aka 8ply - 10ply worsted patterns). So if you have been on a yarn diet all year - this is a diet breaking deal!!
